White screen

Hi all,

my unit (similar to Ouku, capacitive) comes up with a white screen sometimes. Turning it off and on or knocking it doesn't help. I got several updates from the manufacturer but it didn't help. I don't want to send the unit back to China so I am open for any suggestions... Thanks in advance.

In my I802 unit the music stops when navigator gives driving instructions. The problem is that the music (CD/mp3/radio) doesn't start again after that. I have to manually start it again. Is it the same with the Ouko unit? I want it automaticly to get back to music after the driving instructions.

I have e-mailed hifimax.net where I bought it and they say it's a technical limitaion and there's nothing to do about it at the moment.
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
I was testing TomTom the other day (mine's not an I802) and the music (playing in the supplied player) volume was reduced, TomTom spoke it's words, and then the music volume increased back to normal.... Worked exactly as it does on my phone.
[Android Head-Units] blue swede:
Ok, thank you. Do you get the same result with google navigation (or any other navigation software)?
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
I can't say - I haven't got anything else installed. I only got around to testing that after I'd removed the others.
[Android Head-Units] blue swede:
Ok, thank you tin2001!
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
Depends of what Navi software you use. Igo Primo works (voice overlaps and you can set the relative volume with build in radio and player). Igo is using whatever TTS engine you have installed in the system.

I think Sygic also works, at least you don't lose the radio. Sygic is using a build in TTS engine from what I know (Loqendo).

So it's a software problem it will be the same on OUKU. Use another Navi software.

Google navigation requires an always on data connection to work so it's of no use to me.
[Android Head-Units] blue swede:
Ok, thank you! I have tried Sygic but it behaves very strange. I can't type in street names or citys, it just goes back to the previous screen. There are more strange behaviour in sygic but I can't remember it for the moment. I will try another version apk to see if it works better. I can't find iGo in google play. I'll try to find the apk on google.

i802 and iGO

I'm unable to get iGO Primo working on my I802 unit.

It starts without map sd card inserted (however is requesting maps).

As soon as I insert map sd and launch it again, it crashes saying it has insufficent memory.

Anyone knows which version of Igo Primo and Europe map works?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] dwsutton:
I am using Igo - My Way

My i802 did not come with navigation but I purchased Igo Myway from Amy from Guangzhou Huge Circle Trading Co., Ltd. for 15.00 shipped on SD card including .apk- they have it on their i802 they are selling -

The program works fine however it is a bit annoying as you can somewhat see in their product description photos that the header bar does not auto hide like say on DVD or video play so the bottom of the screen will always be a little hidden as it is pushed down a bit. You can see the maps fine tho..
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
IGO Primo is still somewhat in beta (on Android). It's available on Play only if you live in some countries (location locked). You need to search for specific forums and learn how to make it working. The software has many user accessible settings, but again you will have to put some effort to learn how to do. There are even a big number of user designed skins for it. If you want a plug-in solution look for other navigation software.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 PM ----------

You may have to manually edit the configuration file called sys.txt. Depending of the apk used this may be created after install on the SD card (under iGO folder) or it may be in the internal memory (root required to access it). Again, this is not the place to discuss details, search for specialized forums. Primo 2.x works perfectly (full screen) on S150. (if you go in about what is the version you see ?)
[Android Head-Units] dwsutton:
Version -

Mine is listed -

Igo Primo

9.6.7.235654

May 16 2012

If you have any general steps to edit it for full screen I would certainly appreciate it :)

[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
There are newer versions available.(even September 2013). Use Google. Search for "gps forum". Spend some time reading the threads and trying I suggest getting familiar using a phone or tablet, much easier to play that with the car unit. When it works on the phone try on your unit. As a note the only TTS voice which works on my S150 is SVOX. I prefer using Ivona (free on play) but I can not install it from Play on my unit, and installing the apk (side loading) works temporary but disappears later from IGO list. Also you can not get to TTS system settings from Ivona (you can from SVOX) as S150 does not include by any reason access to this settings.SVOX works well.

Need Help with capacitive screen of TH8581GA unit or Ouku Alternate

I have an TH8581GA it is an alternate to the OUKU 6.2" Pure android car stereo.

The problem I am having is that the middle of the screen looses it's touch capability.

It is a capacitive screen, It does work occasionally but mostly it does not.

I have checked all the inclosed ribbons and even rotated the ribbons to it's opposite side and still no luck.

It has good ventilation.

Does anyone know how to repair the problem or is knowledgeable with this unit to point me in the right direction to repair it.

It does work from time to time, when the stereo has some time to cool off a little.

Any helpful comment is greatly appreciated.

Anyone try the new 7" ones?

Anyone try the new 7" ones with detachable tablets, are they similar to this model? Says it has a A10 cortex. There are wayy too many of these on ebay can anyone point me to the right one, do gps maps come preloaded? Also I'm sure it has been asked before, but the ones that come with 3g dongle, can I activate those dongles with any carrier?
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
Haven't tried one, but I gather they're more like having a basic modern car radio (CD, MP3, etc) and simply mounting a small tablet in front of it. The audio from the tablet can be sent to the car speakers of course, but you could do that with a Nexus7 or similar anyway.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Watch for those china brand car radios. They may have an Android display but like most of them, Windows CE actually controls the car radio. From a little research, a lot of them have poor integration between the two OS. For example, GPS is available for on OS but not the other. If it doesn't say "Pure Android" then most likely its running a hybrid with Windows CE.

Although, there are some for sale on eBay for about $60.00 but after watching the video above, I'm not sure it is worth it.
[Android Head-Units] daveaus:
Looking at the feedback & the pictures stolen from Pumpkin that listing is almost certainly a scam.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
For that money you hardly cover the shipping from China. The seller has only 16 items sold. Even old models sell for at least $250 plus shipping so anything lower than $300 is a scam.
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
I don't know - we buy a lot of random oddities off eBay from China for work, and we often wonder if they're making anything off the item when the postage is taken off. China must have the cheapest postage ever or something.

23 actually. They have a rating of 16 because a couple of people bought multiple items from them. It's possible the feedback is all from fake accounts or some leading good sales of cheap products before starting the scamming. Some of the buyers do have fairly high ratings, so they probably aren't fakes (could be pre-scam trust building good sales still though).

Or someone trying to clear old stock out for whatever reason. Those things are well known to be crappy, so it's entirely possible someone just wanted to get rid of them and sold a whole pallet off cheap. Or it's a scam - I don't know.

If it wasn't one of those crappy tablet ones, I'd risk the $60. And looking next to the number available, I'd say about 120 other people figured the same. They've sold 119 in the last 24 hours apparently. I guess if we check back in about 2 weeks we'll know if it was a scam or not.
[Android Head-Units] daveaus:
China may have the cheapest postage ever but for an item this size they need to pay someone to deliver it in the end country, I'm sure Australia Post doesn't do this cheaply.

The title says Android 4 and the description says 2.3.

They don't even try to cover the fact they stole the images from Pumpkin.

Its a scam.

Thanks to everyone who has been posting here, this is all great info. I just got a new Evo 8 here in Japan, but it came with a Japanese head unit...which is unfortunate because I don't speak Japanese!

My main priority with this unit is to be able to use Google maps in offline mode most of the time. Have you guys had much luck doing that? I find other GPS navigation solutions dismal compared to using Google maps on my phone!

Also, that 4.0 version above looks very similar in harware...does anyone have info on what it could be? I feel strange considering purchasing a devicesuch an old version of android! Everyone seems really happy with it though...so I guess that's all that matters!
[Android Head-Units] SWEUP:
Im also a bit worried about the old Android version - which kind of limits are there? I know Chrome webbrowser dont work under 4.0. Is there any other app that dont work, like Navigation apps?
[Android Head-Units] 949BFN:
I have not found any apps not workin on the unit. Running the latest TomTom version e.g. as my navigation app. Even the Traffic Info works 100%.

Being able to root the unit, made it possible to copy all my ov2 POI to the correct folder of the TomTom app (which is not possible in case of an unrooted device).

The only problem I noticed after rooting the unit, is that I seem to have lost the backlighting of the buttons. Don't know if it is a coincidence or if the rooting process broke something.
[Android Head-Units] SWEUP:
Ok, how is the FM-radio doing btw? - in a youtube review the user had problem getting good quality, not so strong frequencies was impossible to fetch sound from, do you have the same experience.

OBD2, bluetooth, 4port hub update

I just receive two Bluetooth dongles. One was a 2.0, the other a 4.0. My HU is rooted. I also installed Quick Bluetooth light like was suggested in a previous post. As another person mentioned earlier, when opening quick Bluetooth like, it ask for permission to turn on Bluetooth. If you say "yes" the program comes back with "turning on Bluetooth" and stays there, never activating the program. If you go to the stock HU phone Bluetooth mode and try to pair, the OBD2 Bluetooth scanner is listed on the screen, but if you press on it nothing happens. So for now I can't connect with OBD2. Neither the 2.0 or 4.0 dongle worked. I plugged in a generic 4 port USB hub to see if the wifi dongle would work through it. That did not work for me either. Looks like the dongle didn't power up either since the little led did not light. No big deal. I I can't get my Bluetooth dongle to work, then I won't need a multiport hub. Any suggestions on other Bluetooth software to try that is on google play ?
[Android Head-Units] kirill.lrnv:
"The only problem I noticed after rooting the unit, is that I seem to have lost the back lighting of the buttons. Don't know if it is a coincidence or if the rooting process broke something."

You can adjust lighting of the buttons and screen, even car's logo and video out(front and rear monitors) in extra settings, also, on my unit/the way it is connected/ buttons lighting goes off if car's dimmer is full. I did not found Any issue/problem, that is caused by rooting.

Hey guys, what are you purchasing? A space ship's computer or a useful stereo/dvd/gps/tablet pc for DRIVER? For the cost of this thing, functionality of it is great! With android 2.3 I don't feel limited to any software.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

I have tried 4 different BT dongles and 3different USB hubs. Ended up with purchasing a Linux compatible BT dongle(still waiting to come) and 6-port USB hub that is surprisingly works with the unit.

Most likely, your hardware is not compatible with the stereo.

A little help......

I have also had no problems at all since the root.. Having no problems with FM receptions, RDS, or anything with the radio....I do not have anything in extra settings.... just blank.

The only problem I am still having

(which existed before rooting)

When I play any music, from sd, usb, playlist, streaming iHeart radio, Slacker, Pandora, Youtube... The sound only plays for 1 sec then stops and the screen goes black...Anyone else have this problem or got any suggestions on a fix.

This started about a week after I got the unit, Tried clearing memory, MCU update, system update....all with no luck.

Then I rooted...Still didn't fix right away..... Then two days after I rooted, everything with music started working normal again...(weird).

Then three days after that... while playing Iheart radio, screen went black music stopped.... no I am back to where I was before black screen and no sound after 1 second. if I am playing from sd card.. same thing unless I hit skip back, screen comes back... still no music...

I have obviously tried the root, flash, clear memory, wipe cache, wipe dilvak, clear data, various music play programs, just running out of options... I looked at logcat and have a few different MediaPlayer errors..ie (-38,1) (on each music program streaming or on storage)

Hopefully someone can help....Think its a hardware, software problem, or in Android Framework???(with mediaplayer)

Pandora 1.3 works flawlessly.

2) Give us android access to the rear camera / aux input (front camera)

3) Better phone directory

4) Speed dials

I had the PHONOCAR VM101 with Android 2.2.

I've returned because the screen does not work well with your finger. Only worked well with fingernail or stylus (the screen is resistive).

It is this : http://www.phonocar.es/en/media-sta...7â-bluetooth-gps-module-built-in/VM101.html

It also gives me an error when I play music from SD and I turn off the radio, when I return to light gives an error reading the SD and the song does not sound where was ringing.

The error is this: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1777069&stc=1&d=1362348050

You know if you can use this custom firmware in this radio that has android 2.2?

Be changed to the 2.3?

The physical buttons are different from those of your radio. You can modify the function of each of the physical buttons on the menu of the radio?

I have all of this radio apps if anyone is interested in the app radio tuner, Bluetooth, music player .....

I do not know if your radio will work.

Your screen is capacitive or resistive?

Someone's a video where you see clearly how it works with your finger?

At least make sure, you have the original firmware, before flashing with this one.

China has the cheapest shipping because the Chinese government subsidizes shipping to provide an unfair advantage for sellers. End countries add no additional charges.

Was the 16 feedback from buying or selling? Not that it matters, this was a scam and has been removed by ebay.
[Android Head-Units] tin2001:
The user has been de-registered too. For those who are interested, the feedback profile is here: http://www.ebay.com/usr/yangcui2013
[Android Head-Units] Pop45398:
Judging from his or her feedback and the items previously sold I suspect this seller was hacked and whoever did it used the account fraudulently. This happened to my wife a couple of times before and is a real pain to deal with and get straightened out. The big tip-off of a scam is the extremely low price. They always seem to do that rather than a more realistic discounted price.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
This works with newer versions. May or may not work with your version (older), as some keys are added in time for extended functionality but may not be used in older versions of software. Also you need to have the file in the location from where the software reads it. It can be from the SD where the software is installed (some versions, depends of APK) or only from the internal system (root required in that case).I recommend to find first where is your sys.txt file (the software creates one on install if not already there).You may only need to add some sections/keys in your existing file, for LCD the [android] and [rawdisplay] are the one which do settings.
[Android Head-Units] scoolro:
Can anyone figure this problem out at all or am I out of luck on the one.

It does work when I start the stereo but around 5 to 10 minutes later I'm stuck with it being non responsive in the middle of screen.
[Android Head-Units] adit9989:
It's a hardware issue. You may be able to find on eBay a proper touchscreen and replace it yourself. I don't think these systems use a laminated screen like new phones so the touch is separately from LCD. You will need to find the exact model used and try to find one, if you are able to do some disassembly and soldering. If you are ready to do this try first and take a look at connectors and contacts also. Nothing else to do, you will not fix a hardware problem through software.

If you have warranty I would send the unit back, but it will cost you in shipping.

Guys,

I am taking my Ouku out of my 2000 VW Polo and fitting it into my Skoda Fabia II that I'm picking up this Saturday.

On the Fabia there's a can bus high and a can bus low cable, and on the stereo harness it's can bus tx and can bus rx.

Which way round should they be connected to the car?

does this apply to TD620A?

Is this thread about one specific 6.2" HU or are there several of these devices with different labels? I recently bought and installed the XTRONS TD620A Android Car Stereo. It seems to have most of the same specs as what I've skimmed of the device in this thread. As a matter of fact, I found this thread by searching for the specific MCU filename written in the owners manual. This unit seems to be running a crippled version of 2.3.7 as others have said, but I have GMail and Google Maps working unlike some others have posted. Do the files and comments in this thread apply to this device? Is my HU rootable?
